Another two essays to choose from and a structure to help you


Postmodern Media manipulate time and space. To what extent is this true of the media texts you have studied?

Or

Define Postmodern Media

This is the essay structure you will always follow

OPINION
PAST
PRESENT
FUTURE
CONCLUDE

The skills are always the same

POINT - EVIDENCE - THEORY - LINK TO QUESTION

The kinds of thing you might use as case studies include:

  • How post-modern media relate to genre and narrative
  • computer / video games, virtual worlds, augmented reality and and new forms of representation,
  • post-modern cinema,
  • interactive media,
  • social media and social networking,
  • reality TV,
  • music video,
  • advertising,
  • post-modern audience theories,
  • aspects of globalisation,
  • parody and pastiche in media texts or a range of other applications of post-modern media theory.

1. You MUST refer to at least TWO different media
2. You MUST refer to past, present and future (with the emphasis on the present- contemporary examples from the past five years)
3. refer to critical/theoretical positions
